Question

a solution with a ph of 3 is considered to be: basic strongly acidic neutral slightly acidic clear sel ammonia is found in many surface cleaning products. what type of solution is it? amphoteric neutral acidic basic

Explanation:

• For the first question: The pH scale ranges from 0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. The lower the pH (below 7), the stronger the acidity. Since pH = 3 is well below 7, it is strongly acidic.
• For the second question: Ammonia (\(NH_3\)) in water (\(NH_3 + H_2O

ightleftharpoons NH_4^++OH^-\)) produces hydroxide ions (\(OH^-\)). Substances that produce \(OH^-\) in water are basic.

Answer:

1. Strongly acidic
2. Basic
